The eccentric title is only the beginning of the crazy ideas that grace this German-inspired role-playing game. You play as Mouse, a poet and songwriter with a talking guitar named Pachimo. You've received an incitation to play an original song at the wedding of a princess on a distant island, and you have but five days to complete the tune. Once you arrive on the Island of Pandureu, you discover that the land has been placed under a time-loop spell that causes the same day to repeat over and over again. What's worse is that the hex has been cast by the princess' fianci, Zerphapolis. You try to defeat the evil Zerphapolis at the wedding, but you fail. Luckily, the time loop allows you to repeat the wedding day over and over again, making allies and collecting valuable items for the next time around. All of the battles take place in real time, giving the game a perfect balance of intriguing story, tough puzzles, and fast-paced action. With such original gameplay, EPHEMERAL FANTASIA is a one-of-a-kind.
